It's wild how rigid society has become since computers became dominant. I read an article once that discussed how people who emigrated to the US prior to computers were generally unconcerned with making sure their name was romanized the same on every document, as all the humans involved were smart enough to understand "this is the same person even though the name is spelled slightly differently". Once computers took over, those people have had to "unify" their name across various documents, otherwise the computers do a literal comparison and reject it since clearly, the names are not the "same".
